Fireman31 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Sorry man, it is way too hard to tell if you have an exhaust leak with those videos. I would need to hear it in person to tell if there is a leak. Which headers do you have, OBX? If you do have a leak, it is most likely one of the two slip joints in the mid pipes....best solution is to weld them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desrtrat Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 can't hear anything also.. what you may be hearing is "header tick". normal sound when exhaust gases exit the head. yea it will sound like a exhaust leak. put a couple 100 mi on it and check all your flanges for any sign of carbon build up.. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymz Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 possible: you might be hearing valve train "clicking". This is normal after installing headers.. it's commonly mistaked for a exhaust leak. Hard to tell with your charger running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 jon, i had to go digging for this quote, but i found it. Have you ever had long tube headers before? They put some strange sounds out as it is. You won't hear air, you'll hear what sounds like a tick sound if you have a leak - not to be confused with the tinq sound you hear from the force of the air hitting the collector. hope this helps in determining if it's a leak or not.
